CHICAGO. Sept. 22. Railroads must
idjust their economic difficulties by
lome other means than by asking ship
pers to contribute the funds therefor.
In the opinion of Interstate Commerce
Commlmlnner Iane. as expressed during
the hearing today.
Railroad officers and attorneys sought
lo learn whether the commissioner Im
plied there must be readjustment of the
method of financing the big carrier sys
tems, but Mr. Lane Ignored their efforts
and continued to ask the wltnesa to
whom he had directed his startling r
marks, pointed questions on the amount
and disposition of earnings of the rail
road In question the Chicago, Milwau
kee ft Paul.
Declaration Is Cnexpectrd.
The wltnesa waa 'William M. Kills,
chief counsel for the Milwaukee. He
said that the unit of cot of additional
business grew fastrr than the unit of
Income.
"Do I understand then, that as you are
today, you are suffering from too much
business?" asked Commissioner Lane.
"That la true."
"As the country develops there will be
more and more freight delivered to you."
said Commissioner Lane, "and as con
ditions are now. the rates constantly
must be Increased, according to officials.
I argue that It is a menace to the coun
try If the rates constantly are to be
Increased. We must work out this
problem on lines other than by the pro
posed method of raising the traffic If
not. there is no time when we can say
the maximum haa been reached." .
Western Road Is Profitable.
This unexpected development came as
a result of the Inquiry Into the Milwau
kee's profits, particularly from the pub
He lands acquired in recent years. Mr.
Ellis denied the commissioner's sugges
tion that the road's optimism when It
built the transcontinental extension had
turned to pessimism now.
If it had not been for that road." he
said, "we would have had nothing from
operation to add to our surplus last year.
That extension added about C 500. 000 to
the surplus. In addition to the t2.JSS.5TJ.
from other sources. Our total surplus
U about CO.OOr.OCC."
He then told the commissioners that
expense cost waa overtaking earnings
and would continue to do so as long as
more traffic was handled.
Profit Ratio Decreases.
In answer to questions Mr. Ellis said
that If the gross Income next year went
to rs.OAOX) from this year's figures of
SK4.onO.iViX the percentage of profit would
be less.
"Do you mean to say the cost of doing
the additional K&0Q0.0TO in business would
be eual to that sum?" he asked.
"I mean the percentage of profit would
not be so great." said Mr. Ellis.
Attorney II. C. Lust, representing the
Illinois Manufacturers, said:
"Mr. EJIls. you say your gross income
last year from other sources was $3,000,
ftV. What are those sources?"
West Swells Surplus.
"Chiefly the Puget Sound division." ha
answered.
"The St. Paul owns all the stock and
In 1910 received ffi.00u.000 on the bonds."
Interrupted Commissioner Lane again.
"Do you mean to aay the Puget Sound
branch paid all its operating expenses
for 19 years and In addition ft.0uu,000 in
terest on its capitalisation?"
"Well, that was Interest for a year and
a half. However It also earned a sur
plus of nearly $3Ae.rtH."
"How was the Puget found division
paid for?" asked Mr. Lane.
"By a bond Issue of $10.OHlt.OiiO sold to

Mrs. Freeburg. Who Wu Helpless
Before Treatment Began, Now
Walks Every Day.
With possibly a teaspoonful of broth,
Mrs. Mary J. Freeburg. M years old. of
East Forty-first and Holgate streets,
will break a fast of 22 days tomorrow.
About five weeks ago Mrs. Freeburg
was taken seriously 111 with a complica

b!e- For two weeks the only thing she
was able to retain on her stomach was
about eight ounces of milk or eggnog,
and her suffering was intense. As noth
Ing would relieve her. it was decided to
put her through a fasting period.
When- Mrs. Freeburg began to fast.
she was not able to help herself In any
way. 9)i e was so weak that she could
not talk, and had to be lifted bodily
when she was to be moved.
Since the fasting began, the sick worn
an had steadily gained in strength. She
now gets up three, times a day and each
time walks Into another room and back.
"Before Mrs. Freeburg began fasting.
said the nurse who Is In charge, "she
could not retain half of a graham
cracker on her stomach. She Is better
In every way. and la on the road to
recovery." 1
"Tes. I am feeling ever so much bet
ter." said Mrs. Freeburg yesterday. "Of
course I am Just a little weak, and occa
sionally I get very hungry. but am
afraid It will take some time to teach
my stomach to accept any food. They
say they are going to serve me a platter
of eatablea tomorrow In a teaspoon."
The sick woman is cheerful, her eyes
are bright and her skin Is clear. Be
fore being taken ill she weighed nearly
IIS pounds but this has been greatly
reduced.
CHINESE DEFRAUD CANADA
Swarms Evade Poll tax by Imperson
atlng Privileged Men.
VANCOUVER. B. C. Sept. 22.-
(Speclal.) Edward Foster, special of
ficer of the Department of Justice at
Ottawa, is In Vancouver investigating
alleged wholesale violations of the
Chinese immigration act. which are
said to have defrauded the Dominion
and Provincial governments out of
hundreds of thousands of dol'ars in
revenue annually by evasion of the
f S00 poll tax.
Thirty Chinese of the last bunch
brought here by the Empress of China
are now being held In the detention
shed awaiting inquiry
It Is alleged that many of the Chinese
coming here secure free admission to
Canada by presenting passports plac
ing them In the tax exempted class of
students and merchants. The crooked
work, it Is believed, is engineered by
a Hongkong organisation with rami
fications on this coast, the passports
being originally secured for reputable
Chinese entitled to enter Canada free,
who pass over their documents to
ooolies. The Immigrant then becomes
the bondsman until the stipulated price
for the passport Is paid. A report of
the present investigation has been for
warded to Ottawa.

OYSTER BAY. Sept. 22. The utter
rout of the "Old Guard" by Theodore
Roosevelt at the Republican state con
vention in Saratoga was predicted to
day by Colonel Roosevelt himself.
At the conclusion of a long confer
ence with half a dozen of his lleuten-
nts. Colonel Roosevelt said: "I think

to the outcome and none was expect
ed from htm today, but the reports

Tart to Be Indorsed.
Unless some unexpected reversal
should be met, he was positive that the
Republican organization . would be
forced to give arcund before the "pro
gressives" when the test came at Sara
toga next week. His estimate of 100
majority is concurred in by the others
who attended the conference. The atti-
ude of the Roosevelt forces toward th
Taft Administration was outlined by
Mr. Bannard.
"In my opinion," said he, "the Sara
toga convention will adopt a resolu
tion strongly Indorsing the Adminis
tration of President Taft. In accord
ance with the President's expressed
wish, no mention will be made of any
renomlnatlon In 1912. No opposition to
an indorsement of the Administration
will come from delegates friendly to
Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Griscom."
Programme Is Agreed On.
Mr. Bannard's statement, coming direct
ly after the conference, was taken as a
plain indication that Mr. Roosevelt had
agreed with the others on this pro
gramme. Mr. Grlscom said that he had
brought good news to Sagamore H1U.
'I reported to Mr. Roosevelt, he said.
that there had been several accessions
to our ranks among the delegates from

LETTER FOLLOWS CRIME
Waldo Perry, Found Dead in Home,
Not Known to Have Had Eue-
mies Theorists Are -at
Loss to Account for Crime.
LA GRANDE. Or., Sept. 22. (Spe
cial.) Search Is being made for T. R.
Ellexson. in connection with the mur
der of Waldo Perry, Deputy County
Assessor, who was shot in his home at
Union on September 11. . There is no
flawless mesh surrounding: Ellexson,
but there are Just enough circum
stances to make the police anxious to
locate him and to have from him an
explanation of his whereabouts on Sep
tember 11. Ellexson Is thought to be
at Echo. Or., tonight.
Ellexson worked for Perry for some
time, but recently left Union and went
to Baker City, where he secured a posi
tion In the employ of George Brown.
He worked for Brown only two weeks
and then started west, leaving Baker
City on Sunday morning, September 11,
the day that Perry was murdered. It
Is thought possible that he was in
Union at the time the grewsome crime
was committed. On the Tuesday fol
lowing the murder Ellexson wrote a
letter to Perry, but it was not opened
until this afternoon. The contents of
the letter will be made public at the
Inquest tomorrow. It is said the letter
Is a business epistle.
Idea Scouted at Baker City.
So far a Is known there Is nothing
other than the circumstance of his pos
sibly .having been in the neighborhood
of the crime and his having been for
merly in the employ of Mr. Perry,
which leads to the pointing of the fin
ger of suspicion at Ellexson. It Is not
known that there was ever any trou
ble between Ellexson and his employer.
and George Brown, Ellexson's Bake
City employer, scouts the idea of Ellex
eon having been connected with the
crime, holding that Ellexson was
quiet and well-behaved man.
Ellexson will be sought for. however,
and asked to explain his whereabouts
on September 11. This is in fact the
only clew of any kind on which the
authorities have to work, and until
something more tangible is found it
will be followed. Ellexson is described
as a man about 40 years of age, five
feet eight 'inches tall, and slightly
looping In appearance.
Automatic Revolver Used.
As conditions of the crime are being
investigated it develops that Perry died
without a struggle; that the weapon
was an automatic revolver and was
operated by someone standing directly
behind him. The stairway to the gar-
